    Too bad I didn't have the camera set to video.


    My watch geese have returned in time for spring. As I headed out to do
    the shopping today I heard a couple geese carrying on and then I heard
    the swooshing sound as one took over from almost directly over me. There
    was still one up there but the other had taken flight and flew into the
    old dead tree across the road. I was surprised to see it land on a
    branch and it stayed there long enough for me to get a photo.

    Those geese are there to try to shit on Officer Dave's head. Give them
    a little time to get the job done.

    I joined FB about 20 years ago when the UK food group migrated there. I unsubscribed within a month. However, I have recently been getting notifications from them from an old UK Group member. It seems the bloody
    app is trying to lure me back in.

    It's a great way to be informed that there are cows or a horse on the
    road to town. It's also good for buying and selling, since there are
    no costs involved, like there are on eBay and Etsy.

    A dirt easy way to post here:

    (1) Drag a copy of your picture onto your desktop.

    (2) Point your browser to <postimg.cc> and click on "Choose Images". There
    is no need to log in. No log in is ever required.

    (3) Click on your desktop image when the Postimages window shows it as an option, and it certainly will.

    (4) Your image will show in a Postimages window along with a URL.
    At this point, you can change the text below the image from nonsense to something useful like "Good Roast Beef!"

    (5) Post the URL in rfc. We can click on the URL and see your picture.
    If the picture is on your computer to start, the whole process for
    posting it should take about two minutes at the outside.

    (6) I always post the top "Link" URL from Postimages. There's a bunch
    more, but I haven't used any and have no idea of their use.

    Anyway, that's how I do it. Anybody with a computer can.
    Have a picture of my great grandson, taken today, so I could trace the
    steps I take without mistake. But, I'm open to criticism and error
    correction. Have at it!

    Zuckerberg is kind of a dick, anyway. Mostly, he wants to be part of the rich-boy club. He's rich enough but wants to be in the company of the
